Is a lifetime of sorrow
What I am truly
Destined for?
To live my life
Outside of your arms?
To wake up each morning,
Alone,
Knowing what I had and
Lost.
I don't know what is left of
Me anymore.
The emptiness, oh the emptiness,
It's filling me.
Maybe that's all I really am now:
Emptiness.
I told you I wanted to spend the
Rest of my life alone with you and me.
The words to you meant
Nothing. I am nothing to you now.
So go on with your life.
Go flirt and go fuck and never
Once
Think that you may just
Possibly
Have destroyed mine and
Left me
Empty
Forever.
